The Not So Quiet Life of Mrs. Whispers- Part III



In my attempt to be a good wife, save money, and help Ryan eat a little healthier, I decided to make him a healthy brown-bag lunch to bring to work just twice a week. Let me first tell you that Ryan grew up in a home where they had nightly 3 course, home-cooked, sit down, family dinners.

Sounds great, right? Well, Ryan felt a little deprived in the fast-food department growing up and is making up for it now. So it took some convincing, on my part, for him to let me do this. He says going out to lunch helps him get away from the office and take a "real break."

Me: Hey, what's this In-N-Out receipt?
Ryan: Oh... I owed my co-worker lunch because she bought yesterday.
Me: Wow. She eats a lot.

... About 10 minutes goes by...

Ryan: Okay, I can't lie to you anymore. I sold the lunch you made me.
Me: You what?
Ryan: Well, everyone went to In-N-Out so what was I supposed to do?
Me: Who bought my lunch? (speechless, but slowly realizing the comedy here)
Ryan: Kyle.
Me: How much?
Ryan: Two dollars.
Me: What if I put a note on your napkin?
Ryan: Oh, don't worry. I checked first.

I still don't know what's funnier, the fact that he sold it, the fact that he sold it for two dollars, OR the fact that someone actually bought it.

Poor Ryan, he doesn't get away with anything, because I manage the check book. No wonder the man likes to carry cash.

What a good wife you are...Reading this sounded like a little kid and his mom having a conversation.IO had to laugh!

At least he didn't just throw your homemade lunch out. Someone got to enjoy your healthy lunch.

PS

this totally hits home with me! i was making craig brown bag lunches, too. like just a couple times a week. . i don't think craig sold any of his. but i'm sure he fell into the pressure of going out the lunch too. i actually fell off the bandwagon and he's buying every day again

Ok, that is hilarious. I can't believe he SOLD it. I can see my hubby just ignoring it in the company fridge until someone threw it out and just going out to lunch anyway, but selling it. At least he was trying to not be wasteful and he came clean. :)
